What we do
Two ways we work with Australian Government departments, anywhere in the country: placing specialists on contract, and taking on defined pieces of work end to end.
ICT labour hire
This is the bulk of our work. A department needs a specialist for six or twelve months; we find someone who can actually do it, put them forward properly, and stay involved once they start.
We work through the BuyICT marketplace on the DMP2 ICT Labour Hire panel, which is how most Commonwealth ICT contracting is bought. The roles we see there run across:
- Software engineering and development
- Cloud engineering and architecture
- Infrastructure and platform operations
- Systems integration and administration
- Cyber security, assessment and assurance
- Networks and gateway operations
- Testing, from manual through to automation
- Project management, BA and documentation
Where we place
Canberra is where most Commonwealth ICT work sits, and it is where we are based — but it is not the limit. We place into departmental offices in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne as well as the ACT, and into remote or hybrid arrangements wherever a department supports them. If you are outside Canberra and thinking that rules you out, it does not.
Clearance requirements vary by role and are always stated on the listing. Some departments will sponsor an upgrade; many will not, and we will tell you which you are looking at before you spend time on it.
Deliverables-based engagements
Not every problem is solved by adding a person to a team. We also take on defined pieces of work — scoped, priced and delivered against a statement of work rather than a timesheet.
What we bring to those engagements:
- Project and programme management
- Software development and modernisation
- AI integration and deployment
- Cloud architecture and migration
- Platform engineering and automation
- Systems integration
- Security assessment and assurance
- Technical discovery and solution design
On AI specifically: the useful work is rarely the model. It is getting it into a production system that already exists, with the assurance, data handling and audit trail a Commonwealth environment requires. That is the part we are interested in.
How we work
We are selective about what we take on. Fewer engagements, more attention on each, and the same person across the whole process rather than a handover between account managers.
